I run wine in text mode in a CI cronjob (so XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not defined).
Since I upgraded wine, it reports a spurious error message:
error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is invalid or not set in the environment.

I believe this message comes from libwayland-client, and cannot easily
be suppressed by a caller.

Some Wayland clients avoid this error message by only attempting to
connect to a Wayland display if there is some sort of evidence that
there ought to be a functioning Wayland session. For example, SDL only
tries to use Wayland if $WAYLAND_DISPLAY is set, or if $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
is set to "wayland". Wine could maybe do similarly.
(Or, your cron job could create a temporary XDG_RUNTIME_DIR for the
duration of running Wine things.)
